Still tight- need to decant. But once it opens up boom!

so, this was rated on a curve. stored in a fridge in another city. fridge died in summer and it was weeks before i found it. it was baked. and then it was weirdly ok. just used it to explain to @captain henrik how get wine out of a bottle with a coravin (merry xmas, cap'n!) expecting it to be destroyed. lo and behold. second wine from that lot which wasn't ruined. the OTHER, miraculously, was the bernaudeau "sans souffre" which I'll never understand why it was ok. maybe there are wine elves sticking ice in the dead fridge until I found it.... god jul!!

Good balance, pretty low-bodied and low-tannic for St. Estephe, very drinkable even though quite young, red berries with an elegant touch of oak

Red and dark berries, eucalyptus notes, suede. Fine busy present tannins. Could probably hang out another year or two.

Solid wine. A bit withdrawn on the aromatics, and definitely showing young, but a nice one to have in the cellar.
